Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Rabble Rousing

    Gold

    Using an Ability restores Health.

    Why on Hecarim

    Each Rampage (Q) hit lowers its cooldown, so you cast it constantly and heal on every cast while you run circles around the enemy team.

  2. Mystic Punch

    Prismatic

  3. Goliath

    Prismatic

    Become large, gaining 15% Health and 10% Adaptive Force.

    Why on Hecarim

    Goliath's Adaptive Force boosts your Rampage (Q) and Devastating Charge (E) damage, and the extra Health keeps you alive longer while Spirit of Dread (W) heals you.
